Songsalive! supporting, promoting and educating songwriters and composers worldwide

The sampler reaches the hands (and ears) of publishers, record companies, music festivals, trade shows, artists, producers, radio, press, and managers. By placing a song or two on this exclusive CD Sampler, independent music gets heard by a huge network of music industry insiders looking for "that next hit song."

Making compilation CDs for songwriters since 1997.

Songsalive!, the largest internationally based non-profit organization supporting, promoting and educating songwriters and composers, has created CD Samplers since 1997 as a platform to showcase songwriters and their songs to the world. Every year, our CD Samplers have attracted songwriters from the four corners of the globe.  

*It's all about the songwriter and the song*

• exposure of great songwriting talent and songs to the world's music markets.
• a way for songwriters and the music industry to connect directly with no middleman.
• a unique promotion of independent songwriters seeking placement of their songs, rather than 'artists' seeking fame.
